She's witty and a bit of a ball-buster.

    <![CDATA[It began with blood and death. And Vicki Nelson, PI  was at the scene. The victim had been brutally, inhumanly opened up.  Messy work. She'd had to cover the corpse with her coat. It had sort  of made her feel involved.  Now Vicki is caught up in the deadly pursuit of a mass murderer with  an inhuman appetite for mayhem and destruction. And her advisor on the  case is doing nothing to dampen her growing sense of foreboding. But  then, with a being of unspeakable evil stalking the city, only Vicki  Nelson would ally herself to Henry Fitzroy, the illegitimate child of  Henry VIII and a five-hundred-year-old vampire.]]>

But unless he, Vicki, and Mike could find the key to conquering the magic-raised menace stalking the streets of Toronto, Fitzroy's true identity might soon be exposed and his life might prove forfeit to the uncontrollable fears of humankind. And without Henry Fitzroy, mere mortals like Vicki and Mike would not long survive against the ancient force of chaos that had been loosed on their world.]]>

    <![CDATA[It began with blood and death. And Vicki Nelson, PI  was at the scene. The victim had been brutally, inhumanly opened up.  Messy work. She'd had to cover the corpse with her coat. It had sort  of made her feel involved.  Now Vicki is caught up in the deadly pursuit of a mass murderer with  an inhuman appetite for mayhem and destruction. And her advisor on the  case is doing nothing to dampen her growing sense of foreboding. But  then, with a being of unspeakable evil stalking the city, only Vicki  Nelson would ally herself to Henry Fitzroy, the illegitimate child of  Henry VIII and a five-hundred-year-old vampire.]]>

    <![CDATA[It began with blood and death amid the streets of late-night Toronto. Vicki Nelson, formerly of Toronto's homicide detail, now a private investigator, witnessed the first attack by the force of dark magic that would soon wreak its reign of terror on the unsuspecting city. And as death followed unspeakable death, Vicki became more and more deeply enmeshed in an investigation which would see her renewing her stormy relationship with her former police partner, Mike Celluci, even as she teamed up with writer Henry Fitzroy, in a desperate attempt to track down the source of the seemingly unstoppable attacks. For Fitzroy, the illegitimate son of Henry VIII, had knowledge of realms beyond the mortal acquired over the centuries during which he'd mastered his own insatiable needs - the life-from-death cravings of a vampire.<br/><br/>Henry Fitzroy had long since learned to survive without killing, learned the skills needed to blend in with the human race. But unless he, Vicki, and Mike could find the key to conquering the magic-raised menace stalking the streets of Toronto, Fitzroy's true identity might soon be exposed and his life might prove forfeit to the uncontrollable fears of humankind. And without Henry Fitzroy, mere mortals like Vicki and Mike would not long survive against the ancient force of chaos that had been loosed on their world.]]>

    <![CDATA[It began with blood and death amid the streets of late-night Toronto. Vicki Nelson, formerly of Toronto's homicide detail, now a private investigator, witnessed the first attack by the force of dark magic that would soon wreak its reign of terror on the unsuspecting city. And as death followed unspeakable death, Vicki became more and more deeply enmeshed in an investigation which would see her renewing her stormy relationship with her former police partner, Mike Celluci, even as she teamed up with writer Henry Fitzroy, in a desperate attempt to track down the source of the seemingly unstoppable attacks. For Fitzroy, the illegitimate son of Henry VIII, had knowledge of realms beyond the mortal acquired over the centuries during which he'd mastered his own insatiable needs - the life-from-death cravings of a vampire.<br/><br/>Henry Fitzroy had long since learned to survive without killing, learned the skills needed to blend in with the human race. But unless he, Vicki, and Mike could find the key to conquering the magic-raised menace stalking the streets of Toronto, Fitzroy's true identity might soon be exposed and his life might prove forfeit to the uncontrollable fears of humankind. And without Henry Fitzroy, mere mortals like Vicki and Mike would not long survive against the ancient force of chaos that had been loosed on their world.]]>

    <body><![CDATA[New fun series that walks on the supernatural side. It is more mystery than just a vampire story. That characters are witty and funny. The myserteries while leaning on the side of supernamtural still work like an investigation. Of course there is also the tension as to whether Vicky will choose Mike...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/40644250">more...</a>]]></body>
